Children's Ministries

Children’s Ministries at St. John’s focuses on the understanding that, we as Lutherans, value intentional activities with intellectual depth. All components of our Children’s Ministries are developmentally appropriate, fun, and educational. This ministry helps families learn about their Lutheran faith, grow in faith, and helps families link their faith to their daily lives.
